Chapter 328 She Has Always Been Here

He Nanxi didn't expect that there were two teachers in Shuiwan Village, and both of them graduated from Peking University. The teaching staff was too strong.

"So where is she now?"

Teacher Feng's face was filled with grief:

"She's always been here."

Everyone was stunned.

"Here?"

Teacher Feng slowed down and took a deep breath:

"Well, you've already seen the school today. It was actually converted from an abandoned Buddhist temple in the village. The school used to be bigger than this one, at the foot of the mountain over there."

Teacher Feng led He Nanxi and others through the back door and looked at the mountain not far away. The mountain was full of various wild flowers, colorful and particularly beautiful.

They didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Teacher Feng to continue.

Although he is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, his eyes are full of vicissitudes of life.

"That year, there was heavy rain and a mudslide occurred on the mountain. She was trying to save the students but couldn't escape."

Everyone was silent, and a deep sadness spread.

Sometimes tragedy strikes that are beyond our control.

"She's most afraid of being alone, so I came here to accompany her after I graduated."

Teacher Feng's voice was full of nostalgia, and his eyes were filled with indelible emotions.

He Nanxi comforted softly: "Teacher Feng, don't be too sad."

Teacher Feng turned around and smiled:

"I'm not sad. I'm happy to be here with her. Here are the students she loved and the children she was willing to give her life for. I'm happy to help her protect this place. Staying in Shuiwan Village makes me feel like she's still alive."

“You are a person with a big heart.”

He Nanxi sighed softly, and suddenly felt that his vision was too narrow.

Her original intention was to help these children who could not go to school, but when she saw that the village chief had pocketed her donation, she became angry and wanted to stop donating.

But it was the village chief who embezzled the money, not these children.

They are victims too.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Vivian: "I can donate some money to make your life better."

Lin Ruoyi also raised her head: "I don't have that much money, but I can still come up with a few thousand yuan. Just consider it as the face money just now."

She was afraid that Teacher Feng would not accept her, so she made an excuse.

Teacher Feng waved her hand hastily, "Don't donate money. You've seen the conditions here. Even if you had money, there's nowhere to spend it. Besides, innocent people are often accused of crimes. I'm just a village teacher. I'm not sure I can keep the money you give me. If you really want to do something, why not buy some exercise books and books, as well as pencils, erasers, and other stationery? Remember to buy the most common and cheap ones. If they have good ones, they won't even get to use them."

"I'll buy some more clothes for the kids as school uniforms."

Teacher Feng quickly rejected Vivian's proposal:

"There's no need for clothes. Even if you send them, it won't be the turn of these children to wear them. People have donated clothes before, but they ended up being worn by adults and boys. The female students won't get a turn."

Lin Ruoyi was so angry that her fists clenched and cracked:

"This is really too much. I really want to hit someone!"

He Nanxi noticed the message in Teacher Feng's words and asked casually:

"Has anyone donated money to the school in Shuiwan Village before?"

Teacher Feng's expression turned gloomy, and he sneered twice:

"There's more than one person who donated to Shuiwan Village. As far as I know, at least five people have donated, and it's not a small amount. Some people even built a Hope Primary School, a new school for the children. But look at us now, aren't we still staying in this small, dilapidated temple?"

"Where did the money go?"

"It went into someone's pocket. Okay, that's all I have to say. I can't say any more."

He Nanxi looked directly into Teacher Feng's eyes:

"Can I ask what exactly you want us to do?"

He Nanxi discovered that since she came to Shuiwan Village, everyone spoke with hidden meanings.

Sister Yang told them so much because she was showing off her son.

The village chief told them so much because he wanted to get some money from them.

What about Teacher Feng?

When she asked this question, Teacher Feng was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent for a moment.

"If you're willing, could you help the children of Shuiwan Village? As photographers, can you speak up for them? I've always felt that these children's future shouldn't be like this. Xiaoyao is a very smart child. She's very sensitive to math. At only 10 years old, she can solve some high school math problems. She's very talented, but her father doesn't allow her to continue her studies. He even sold her as a child bride for 10,000 yuan."

"Child bride?"

He Nanxi was completely stunned and muttered to himself: "Is he really that crazy?"

Teacher Feng's eyes showed some compassion:

"If she continues on this path, she will start having children when she is fifteen or sixteen and continue having children until she gives birth to a boy. If she gives birth to a girl, she will follow in her footsteps."

He Nanxi was touched and looked up at him and asked, "Why did you choose us? We met by chance and only met once."

"It just so happens that you're the ones standing here. If it were anyone else, I would say the same thing. After all, we shouldn't give up even a shred of hope."

Lin Ruoyi didn't understand: "Why don't you go out on your own? As a rural teacher in Shuiwan Village, shouldn't you have more authority when you say these things? There will definitely be more people who believe in you."

Teacher Feng's face was filled with bitterness: "I can't leave..."

"Teacher Feng!"

Suddenly, the village chief's voice came from afar, with urgency in his voice.

Teacher Feng restrained his expression and said calmly:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

The village chief came over panting, looking at the few people in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

He Nanxi realized something and stepped forward and said to the village chief:

"Village chief, I originally wanted to take my team to take some photos of the scenery of our Shuiwan Village, but I couldn't find the place, so I asked this teacher for directions. I saw the sea of ​​flowers over there and thought I would go and take some photos."

The village chief looked them over before chuckling:

"Sorry, I have to excuse myself today because of something urgent. You guys go ahead and take the photo."

He Nanxi nodded:

"By the way, Village Chief, I'd like to start filming at school this afternoon. I've noticed that the situation at our school is quite poor. After I'm done filming, I'll help our village primary school raise donations from the public to improve the children's learning environment. What do you think?"

The village chief subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he heard He Nanxi said he wanted to donate, he hesitated again. After thinking it over, he said:

"Okay, but can you please not use the name of Shuiwan Village when you send it out? Can you use Qingxi Town?"

"Oh? Why is that?"

The village chief smiled and said, "The primary schools in the villages under Qingxi Town are all like this. If we can imitate Qingxi Town, wouldn't it help more schools?"
